I download Electrum AppImage but it do nothing.
I do not insist. I just like to use it Wink

It has to be set as executable before it can be launched like an app.

x@x-xxx:~$ python3 -m pip install --user Electrum-4.5.8.tar.gz

Hmm, it's thinking that you're installing a python package and not the downloaded "Electrum-4.5.8.tar.gz" file.
I can't reproduce it in Ubuntu 22.04.3 though, I don't use Linux Mint.

Anyways, you can still use Electrum without installing it. Just follow the "Run without installing:" part in the instructions;
The first command extracts the tar.gz file,
The second command is for launching Electrum. (use every time you need to start Electrum)
The inconvenience of not installing it is you can't start it with a simple command "electrum".

1. OK is useful. but is not in manual on electrum.org
2. 3. 4. I see file Electrum-4.5.8.tar.gz in my computer. Yes is unpacking, and work. mean must be downloaded.
